1. For privacy: Not like I'm buying dragon dildos or something similar, but I feel more comfortable buying stuff peer-to-peer; without(or with less) centralized entities knowing what I'm buying. Unfortunately of course, what you can buy with bitcoin online is very limited.

Agree, and if anyone expects more options to just pop out of nowhere, and I mean some sort of platform that accepts bitcoin and gives out fiat to businesses that want to dive into it without fully embracing bitcoin, well, it's just centralization with extra steps. We have to wait until bitcoin is more widespread for online payments to be more accesible in btc.

There are a lot of various advantages of Bitcoin in general, but it's mostly:
2. Having self custody: not necessarily concerning payments, but it feels great having total ownership of the money(bitcoin) I have; especially right now whereas the whole world is going bonkers.

3. Because fuck PayPal. Seriously. So much problems with it throughout the years that it's unfortunate that my options mostly are pretty much either use PayPal, or use my debit card.

PayPal sounded like a good idea when it was first introduced, but there are very high fees for cross country purchases which kind of defeat the point of a global payment network. This is my reasoning why bitcoin is better.

ALso it's not just paypal, but whatever payment platform out there.
